Chapter 604: Chapter 601 The Sealed Area
Yang Jian had indeed left.
But he did not return to Dachang City. Although he wanted to, there were more important matters at hand.
Fang Shiming was right; killing him was going to be difficult, especially when both parties knew almost everything about each other.
So, Fang Shiming fled, choosing not to keep fighting with Yang Jian, because he realized Yang Jian was in a special state. If they continued, he was certain to lose, and this keen awareness was extraordinary. If he hadnât been so clear-headed, Yang Jian might have succeeded long ago.
Unable to kill Fang Shiming and unable to hold him, Yang Jian thought of his last resort.
A supernatural event once occurred in the city under Tong Qianâs responsibility.
âŠ
Yang Jian once entered the Caesar Hotel with Xiong Wenwen, Lin Luomei, and Luo Su Yi. A vengeful ghost wandered inside the hotel. They almost got trapped there, unable to escape because the ghostâs killing method was very unusual; it didnât need to see or touch people, it could kill just by stepping on their footprints.
Of course, that wasnât the purpose of Yang Jianâs trip. His aim was for a certain item.
The ghost seemed to possess a strange supernatural object, an old, rusted knife.
âIf I could obtain that supernatural object, maybe I could have the ghostâs ability to kill by stepping on footprints⊠But I canât be sure whether the ghost and that object are one entity, or if they exist separately.â
Yang Jian didnât rest.
The curse of the Eight-Tone Music Box echoed in his mind like a death knell. Although the curse could last for a few days, there was no guarantee.
After all, there was very little data gathered, and the duration of the curse was unstable. Some people might survive for three days, others for five, but there was also a chance that the unlucky ones would only last a day.
Even headquarters couldnât fully understand it.
âWeâre here.â
Yang Jian used Ghost Domain to travel instantly, arriving at his destination in less than a minute.
Caesar Hotel!
This was a locally famous hotel, but due to the supernatural event, it, and the surrounding area, remained sealed off. No one dared to set foot here. Even at night, there were patrols to prevent the daring and skeptical from sneaking in for an adventure and accidentally releasing the ghost.
Yang Jian took a moment to observe.
The hotel had undergone some changes since he had been there last. The walls, windows, and even some of the ventilation ducts had been completely sealed with cement, leaving no gaps. There were also many infrared alarms nearby; they would be triggered by the living as well as the dead.
Clearly, Tong Qian had upgraded the protection after Yang Jian had left.
âThe ghost in the hotel doesnât have Ghost Domain, and with the hotel being completely sealed, the corpse couldnât have left on its own. So, itâs very likely that itâs still inside, and with my current state, I should be able to completely imprison the ghost here.â
Yang Jian remained cautious, because there were still mysteries in the hotel he did not understand, so he only tentatively covered the first floor with the Ghost Domain.
After confirming the absence of the ghost on the first floor, he extended the Ghost Domain to the second floor.
Immediately.
No trace of the ghost was found on the second floor either; everything was arranged just as it had been before, no different whatsoever.
The Ghost Domain covered the third floor.
At this moment, Yang Jianâs brow furrowed, a hint of puzzlement arising.
In one of the third floorâs private rooms, he actually discovered a corpse.
Immediately.
Yang Jian went to that private room on the third floor.
He wasnât mistaken; indeed, there was a corpse curled up in the corner, already dead, emanating a foul stench.
âThis is not a body left over from the last paranormal event, but one that died later, death time⊠not more than fifteen days, and not killed by the ghost either, the corpse shows no clear signs of being severed,â Yang Jian made a rough assessment of the bodyâs condition.
Yang Jian was certain that everything inside was real, not an illusion created by the Ghost Domain.
âFind that ghost quickly.â He did not hesitate and for the second time stepped into the somewhat familiar passageway.
